Nice wall of fuzz, very nice. Added the drive pot to the ftont.

Very nice. This is the first I was aware that DBA made a ver 2 of the Fuzz War. Which ge diodes did you use and did you test them for leakage?

These were 1n34a I tested the forward voltage only. I didn't test for leakage. The forward voltage matched at about .27.

Hmmm. If they're too leaky, they're act more like resistors than diodes and you won't even get to the 0.27V in-circuit because the other diode, the one that is supposed to be "off," will conduct too much current. Not an issue with hard limiters, like Distortion+, but definitely a concern with soft limiters like the BMP. One more thing, matching diodes in a BMP isn't really necessary because everything about that circuit except the diodes is asymmetrical.
